The dialog has to start somewhere the moralist's tend to glaze over things so much they sound like they are going on a tirade more than trying to make their points.

One of the reasons I think its important to block the sale of mature content to minors is due in part from the voracity of "righteous ig-competence" and the headless chicken mentality of government if things get to messy.

Look at it from another angle, its not a question of if X is harmful,Y is guided threw X by adults regardless and because of this we need to allow the law in this instance to keep X "mature content" from being directly purchased by Y "minors". We do not care if something is rated or not all that matters is that all 17+ rating levels R,M,NC17 and Unrated(but not "not rated") be restricted to purchase by adults only. This will force the MPAA to work harder at rating film which dose us all some good.

Now Renting is a interesting loop hole because renting=library you could stipulate that commercial renting is limited and non profit library based renting is not, also you could well add not rated to the list but I think it would be unneeded.

Fines and fees would be 50X what the item is worth to the store "owner" and 5X to the employee that made the sale. Nothing more nothing less.

Start the argument with this and the law could well change, and because adults have free access and litarily mature content is protected from kids by blocking the direct sale to them they can still get it from the library, from friends and family.

Sure it may never come to pass and stranger things have happened but there are many ways for society to grow and change.

I haz questions

If the scope of the law on a federal level targets [COLOR=Red]minors only[/COLOR] and [COLOR=Red]dose not ban their access to it[/COLOR] why must it be held to the same standards as laws meant for the populace as a whole?
